Arkansas Pharmacy Laws and Regulations Practice Exam

What is the exception for nonprofit or government-funded hospitals having retail pharmacies?

1. If they are located in a rural area

2. If the pharmacy is open 24 hours

3. If the hospital obtained their original hospital pharmacy permit prior to 28 Mar 1975

4. If they serve a low-income population

The correct answer is: If the hospital obtained their original hospital pharmacy permit prior to 28 Mar 1975

This exception about obtaining a hospital pharmacy permit prior to a certain date specifically applies to nonprofit or government-funded hospitals who are seeking to operate a retail pharmacy. Options A, B, and D do not pertain to the necessary qualifications for this exception and are therefore incorrect. Option A deals with location and option D deals with the population served, but neither of these factors would affect the eligibility for this specific exception. Option B focuses on the hours of operation, which also does not apply to this exception. Therefore, C is the only option that directly addresses the necessary criteria for this exception.
